2 Corporation Street, Bishops Castle

A well built semi-detached town house set in a commanding position within the town, close to all amenities and services. Whilst the property requires a scheme of refurbishment, it offers well proportioned accommodation of 3 bedrooms, living room, kitchen, shower room, hall and rear conservatory porch. It occupies a large corner plot with a detached garage and off road parking and excellent town and country views.

General Remarks - No. 2 Corporation Street is one of the first built of this mid twentieth century development of former council houses and probably has the best position of all of them. It occupies an elevated, larger than normal, corner plot and commands some excellent views over the town and beyond towards South Shropshire countryside and the Longmynd.

Whilst it now requires refurbishment, it has immense potential with space to extend its current accommodation of 3 bedrooms, living room, kitchen, shower room, hall and rear, porch/conservatory. It has off road parking with a drive to a detached brick garage.

The gardens are a good size and lie to the front, side and rear of the house and have potential to be returned to their former glory.

The sale of the house is an excellent opportunity for a wide range of buyers from investors, developers or growing families.

Situation - The house sits on the corner of Corporation Street and Union Street and therefore, is only a level stroll into the town with its eclectic range of shops, pubs, schools, church etc. The fabulous South Shropshire countryside is also close by and is a mecca for walkers and cyclists.
